Shim Sham Shimmy

" David Merritt's exhibition shim/sham/shimmy features a selection of drawings, sisal sculptures, and video works that explore language as it intersects with the material, visual and aural realms of experience. Sometimes manifest in elusive forms, the concepts underlying Merritt's works comprise a complex web of thinking about cultural signs and symbols, and how viewers play a role in assigning their meanings.
